Answer to Question #165870 in Mechanical Engineering for Adrian

Question

Compute for the total volume concrete needed for the concreting of columns, assume that the height of the column starting at NGL is 15.00 meters. 

Answer 1

The column may be in any shape, either it may be in rectangular or circular or hexagonal etc.

The volume of concrete = Surface Area x Depth

To calculate the top surface area we must multiple it with the depth or height of the column.

The volume of concrete for circular column = Surface Area of Circle x height of the column.
